Phosphor Bronze 11-52

I have not played like i played after i got these stringed up in years. Just WOW. They sound beautiful. I payed for like 45 minutes straight, and i was in the zone like it i was on cocaine. They sounded THAT good. I prefer the lighter strings and the ease of playing them, but you loose a bit of the fullness of the sound with a lighter gauge. These 11-52's are pretty comfortable to play, and the nanoweb coating makes them very smooth and easier to play. They are bright, full, round, great sustain, and loud. Awesome Strings. Period. I am VERY Happy with them. I just can not get over the sound. I had a set of Martin 12-56's Phosphor Bronze on my Yamaha Acoustic before and i thought they sounded pretty darn good, but a little stiff and hard to play after playing my electrics most of the time. But these blow them away in sound and play-ability. I'm not saying Martin's are the best, but they're pretty good sounding, especially for the price. These are 3 times the price, but in my opinion, they just about sound 3 times as good. I read that a few people received sets that they believed to be fake. I grabbed my multi-meter and checked them when they arrived and the set i received did not cause the meter to read as "open". They do if you press really hard with the meter leads, but i don't think that is a totally accurate measure of legitimacy. If these are fakes, they are still worth the price, lol. I was hopeful because of the hype behind these, and since they are pretty dang spendy for a single set of strings. I hope that they last as long as they claim to last with the nanoweb coating. I just put them on like 2 hours ago. I had to write a review, just to share. I will totally buy these again, and i will be ordering a set for a buddy of mine. They are so nice that i have to share the beauty. I will update my review if anything changes. I really hope they last 3 times as long as a typically set, being 3 times the price. That is my only complaint.

Excellent strings, loud and bright and easy playability. I’m sold.

Anyone that has a good guitar uses Elixir strings. Why? Because I say so!! Kidding, the strings sound so magical. It is hard to explain other than a beautiful ringing tones and not the boring dullness of other brands. We each have our favorites, but mine are Elixir for all my guitars.

I’m a loyal user since 2005! These solved my sweaty hands killing guitar strings. The proprietary coating keeps the strings live and sounding great, even after a couple if months since new! I use these strings O.52-.0.11 on my vintage Martin D-41. They are lighter than the medium version and easier to play. I do a gentle but firm stretch of each string a couple of times to set them in the bridge and on the tuners, then tune. They stay in tune, take a lot of wear, but stay in tune, sounding great.

I’ve been a long time d’addario XL user and I decided to try these out. I read online that my Taylor in specific sounds great with elixirs. I don’t like change, but this is one I adapted to really quickly and genuinely enjoyed doing so. Putting on the strings is typical for any set that you buy, but it’s the texture of the strings and feel under your finger tips, along with the sustain and tone that really sold me about how unique the elixirs are. I’d recommend giving them a spin. They feel super durable for the price you are paying.

Well let's see these are great strings I recommend them because I play guitar and I used to buy Ernie Ball strings but I don't really like the last E string it's like a 12 or 13 I think it's a little too heavy awake I prefer a light or like 11 or 10 on the E string I play guitar so I know what I'm talking about there they last longer if you take care of them always you know after you play and your hands are sweaty and and your feet in the strings are kind of sweet you sure that your wipe down good, make it dry again and maybe put a cover over it get protect the strings cuz from the air in the atmosphere other than that they're good strings they should last depending on how you play what you play how long you play and what you subject the strings to so other than that I'd recommend them they're good quality string they sound good they're wound good they have good sound tone quality would recommend

Honestly they’re great strings. They feel and sound great, but unfortunately the g string snapped when I was tuning. I’m not sure if it’s something I did when changing the stings or if I just got a bad one. From the elixir website it costs $5 for a replacement string plus shipping so I’d rather just buy a whole new set.

Still great strings. Last longer than most. Getting to be a bit pricey, though.
